If you watched the Texas Longhorns take on the Washington Huskies last night, you are probably very sleepy today.
The Sugar Bowl got a late start to the game as well as an even later finish.
Kickoff between Texas and Washington was set for approximately 8:45 p.m. ET, but the game ended up being pushed back due to the Rose Bowl contest between Michigan and Alabama as it went into overtime.
Because of that, halftime of the Longhorns-Huskies was around 11:00 pm on the East Coast and the game did not end until well after 12:00 am.
